Abstract:

The ethno-medico-botanical studies have been carried out in different tribal pockets of Raigarh district of Chhatisgharh State. This has led to the documenting of uses of 35 plant species in various diseases ranging from liver disorders to simple application for body pain. The findings reported may form the basis for bioprospection and consequently development of scientifically validated new and novel drugs for diseases like hepatitis, cancer, malaria, rheumatism and other various infectious diseases, where no satisfactory cure is available.
